Iza Whiskey and Eats

“Had a wonderful experience at Iza Whiskey & Eats. A unique concept that blends creative cuisine, an impressive whiskey selection, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The food was flavorful and thoughtfully prepared, while the cocktails and spirits added an extra layer to the experience. A great spot for a relaxed evening with friends or a date night in Carrboro.”

“Great little place to have dinner with a friend! We ordered the gyoza - which was perfection on a plate! (no picture, because it went too fast!!) Then we had the chili garlic noodles - oh yeah - perfect amount of heat. Well balanced, and the glass of white was a perfect addition. Highly, recommend... I'll be back to try out the Korean side of the menu. Love the diversity of the cuisine, well done!”

“I have some dietary restrictions right now, and I called ahead to make sure I’d be okay to eat here— the host, Ted, made me feel heard and like I wasn’t being an inconvenience. It meant a lot to me! My sashimi was delicious, and it wasn’t a problem that I brought my own soy sauce substitute. The customer service I received was excellent, and the restaurant is definitely Their bar appears well-stocked (I’ve bartended before— I wonder if they have alternative storage for some of the liquor bottles though, it looks like they’d be a pain to work around), and the sushi is well-formed. I’m a sashimi girlie at the moment, so I can’t speak to the rice texture, but I’d expect excellence here. I’m excited to dine here again, thanks Ted!”

“My wife and I traveled over an hour from Greensboro just to get something better and we were not disappointed. The sushi was excellent. Its hard to believe that this was the same species of fish. It was fresher and more flavorful than most of your typical sushi joints. The real wasabi, (not the green horseradish paste) put the flavor over the top. The brussel sprouts are rarely done right and these were fantastic. I can't say enough good things about the chef/owner. His skill and hospitality are what separates Iza from just about every other sushi place. Anytime I have a special occasion, I will be back.”

“We had a great time at Iza, the yellowtail jalapeno and first class bourbon sampler were great. The salmon sashimi was very fresh and we loved the tuna crudo. They also have real wasabi.”
